Vijay Varma seen with Aaliyah Qureishi on dinner date, duo avoid paps; fans speculate romance post Tamannaah breakup

Bollywood actor Vijay Varma, who is currently basking in the success of the Amazon Prime show Matka King, has once again grabbed eyeballs for his personal life and is now being linked to a new actress. On Tuesday, the actor was spotted with Jawan actress Aaliyah Qureishi, enjoying a dinner date at Japanese restaurant Mizu in Mumbai.

Vijay and Aaliyah avoided the paparazzi despite photographers requesting pictures. They quickly got into their car, and in viral videos, the duo can be seen sharing a laugh inside the vehicle.

The actor’s single era has often grabbed attention, and during Valentine’s Day, Vijay had even taken a sly dig at memes constantly discussing his relationship status.

So far, neither Vijay nor Aaliyah has confirmed or denied dating rumours, but social media is buzzing with curiosity about the mystery girl in the Matka King actor’s life.

Vijay Varma’s appearance with Aaliyah Qureishi comes a year after reports claimed that he and Tamannaah Bhatia broke up.

Vijay Varma gets candid on online negativity

During the promotions of Matka King, Vijay Varma also opened up about how online negativity has impacted him.

“The world is changing so fast. I’m not able to catch up. There has been an entire shift in the culture. The way people communicate and write comments is a little too excessive, direct, and personal. Sometimes, there’s too much fabrication and too many lies (written about you),” he told News18.

“When we were growing up, saying something bad about someone on a public platform was frowned upon and not appreciated. Those who badmouthed were considered wrong. Abhi sab kuch ulta ho gaya hai. Jo gaali de raha hai, usko koi kuch nahi bol raha hai. The one who’s being subjected to these abuses will, in fact, have more people badmouthing rather than supporting them,” he added.

According to a Pinkvilla report, Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma parted ways amicably last year.

“Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma parted ways weeks ago as a couple, but they plan to remain good friends. Both have been working hard in their respective schedules,” a source close to the couple told Pinkvilla.

Vijay Varma and Tamannaah’s dating rumours were fuelled when they were spotted together at a New Year’s Eve party in 2023. The speculation grew stronger after a few more public appearances. They eventually made their relationship public during the promotions of Lust Stories 2.

After confirming their relationship, the couple was often seen together at events, screenings, and date nights.

The duo shared screen space in the Netflix anthology Lust Stories 2, where they reportedly grew closer during the shoot.
